PER CURIAM:

Barbara Jean Ford appeals the district court’s orders denying

her motion to amend her complaint and granting Appellees’ motion

for summary judgment on one Title VII claim following a remand from

this court. See Ford v. Simms, 2001 WL 1598078 (4th Cir. Dec. 14,

2001) (No. 00-1649) (unpublished). We find no error in the district

court’s orders and affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. See Ford v. Simms, No. CA-99-3580-JFM (D. Md. Apr. 9, 2002,

and Oct. 31, 2002). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
